Tag! You’re Middle!

Last night, I had an extensive conversation about The Human Centipede with some friends, some old, some new…during dinner. For those of you who do know about the film and don’t know much about me, I promise you that I’m not a bad person and that I typically stray away from talking about 3 people connected ass-to-mouth during dinner.  And for those of you who don’t know about the film, well, I just told you.
As sick as The Human Centipede may be and sound, the film is actually a dark comedy and is pretty hilarious UNTIL THE HUMAN CENTIPEDE IS MADE. After that, it’s nonstop dry heaving and sweating. One of these particular friends of mine, new to the concept, begged me to stop talking about it, but I just couldn’t.
The film was released on both on Video on Demand and in limited release in theaters at the end of April, so why are people still talking about it almost 4 months later? I can’t answer that question, but as embarrassingly intrigued, obsessed and repulsed by it I may be, I just can’t seem to stop integrating centipede references into my daily life.
The concept of the film is absurd, but apparently 100% medically accurate. INTRIGUED YET? There’s a sequel coming out next year involving the number twelve. OBSESSED YET? The purpose of the prequel is to acquaint viewers with the idea of a human centipede, therefore, the sequel will be even more graphic and more…I don’t really know what. REPULSED YET?
I know I am! Someone save us all.
